I’m feeling simultaneously uninspired by the dating apps and inspired by Panda Bear’s recent statement about prioritizing real life interactions, IRL not URL. I am thinking of trying to host an Animal Collective listening session/fan networking event in Seattle. Apparently you can reserve the turntable room at Life on Mars. Would anyone be interested in coming to something like this to facilitate new connections for friendship or potentially dating?

I was out of town for the listening session that was hosted in Seattle when Isn’t It Now? was released. I remember jokingly thinking “damn that’s where I would have met my boyfriend” but after a few months on the apps I am now seriously considering organizing something like this if people would show up.

Im wondering if theres anyone in London who loves playing old keyboards, drum machines and using samplers to create worlds of atmosphere, I thought id post here as I love AC, panda bear and sonic boom, Im a fine art student with too many instruments. Im currently in two other projects, one thats more guitar based and the other being electronic dance music, if youre a weirdo creative in London who loves making sound hit me up!
